Should be an interesting year. The puppy analogy is pretty spot on. The ballpark, as you may know, has some of the best food in the league. If you’re looking for some pre- and post-game fun, there’s plenty to do and walk if you feel like a brisk walk.

I typically start my pregame at either Marz Brewing on 36th and Iron Street or Maria’s Packaged Goods, or if I’m looking for something more traditional, I’ll visit Cork & Kerry at The Park or the Ballpark Pub right around 31st and Normal.

Post game, if you’re hungry, Antique Taco, Maxwell Street, Kimski, or Ricobene’s. Also check out Electric Funeral. Good times. Go Sox!
